"Friends of Veterans, Veterans HELP!

Fellow veterans, I need your help. Representative Will Coursey is the Chairman of HOUSE STANDING COMMITTEE ON VETERANS, MILITARY AFFAIRS, AND PUBLIC SAFETY. He has not called SB 128 for a vote though it has been in his committee since Feb. 11th.. It benefits all women in the military and female veterans! Please call 502-564-8100 Ext. 659 today and ask him to call SB 128 for the vote and pass it to the House floor. I would hate to think he would let it die considering it unanimously passed out of the Senate! You can leave a message for the entire House, 1-800-372-7181 and ask them to please PASS SB 128.

GULF WAR VETERANS

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 23, 2015 (HealthDay News) — Unexplained chronic fatigue, muscle pain and problems with thinking are experienced by a quarter of Gulf War veterans, and new research suggests exposure to DNA-damaging chemicals may cause this condition, known as Gulf War Syndrome.

Previous studies have suggested that the symptoms stem from a malfunction of mitochondria, the site in cells where molecules that power the body are made. The mitochondria have their own DNA, separate from the cell’s.

Increases in mitochondrial DNA damage the mitochondria’s ability to produce energy, leaving the individual feeling slow and tired. And the new study found direct evidence of increased damage to this cell powerhouse among Gulf War vets.

PLEASE see the Veteran Service Officer at The American Legion Post. You need to file a VA claim for service connected disability.

The Blue Water Navy operated large ships which were used to carry out their missions along the Vietnam coastal waters.Some offshore ships including hospital ships, harbor repair ships, mine sweepers, seaplane tenders, and destroyers sent crew members ashore.
